A Word About “A Mother’s Eyes”

Last updated on: August 17, 2011 at 12:08 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

A work of pious fiction which details the earthly life of Our Lord through the eyes of His mother. Incarnating the Mother of God as more than icon, more than statue, more than pious emotion, author Karen S. Woods treads where few have dared, wrapping the story of Christ and His Mother within our very taste, touch, and feel. It’s a bit unsettling. The struggle for the author was staying true to the story; the difficulty for the reader is... Read more

About That Elevator Evangelism …

Last updated on: August 10, 2011 at 5:48 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

A while back — HERE — I mentioned the Antiochian Archdiocese’s Department of Missions and Evangelism was sponsoring a contest to see who could write the best 30-second explanation of what the Orthodox Church is, essentially an Orthodox “elevator speech”. Courtesy of the Department of Missions and Evangelism, here’s the Winner (at top) and some honorable mentions: The winner, as chosen by plurality in an on-line poll: Orthodox Christianity is the authentic and original Christian Faith founded by Jesus Christ....

I’m Not Gay; I Was Drawn This Way!

Last updated on: August 7, 2011 at 1:11 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Recently, at Church Camp, it became clear, especially in the “Ask Abouna” sessions, that young people have questions about sexuality. Nothing new here, I suppose it has always been; but just not so poignant (or pornographic) – but more on that in part two of this two-part series. Usually on this podcast, I attempt to be funny. Which is not to say gay; I mean, who wants to be gay, right? Aren’t you born that way? Well, I can tell... Read more

Know Jesus, Know Kudzu

Last updated on: July 29, 2011 at 6:51 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Freshly home form the Antiochian Archdiocesan Convention; throwing up this old piece up that I’ve been sitting on a while: (Newser) – Other states might be green with envy, but it’s only North Carolina that can claim its very own “miraculous” Kudzu Jesus. The mass of runaway weeds growing up a power utility pole and wires near the town of Kinston looks remarkably like Jesus Christ on the cross, say several witnesses. “I thought I was crazy the first time...

The day my copy arrived, my 9-year old looked through it for about an hour — Enough to make an old DJ Dad proud! She came up to me and exclaimed: “Dad! It says ‘On this day Elvis and Priscilla Presley had a baby exactly nine months after their wedding day!’ Then, I looked back nine months — and that was the day they got married!'” (Dontcha know tongues wagged back in the day?) Ron’s book, and I say this... Read more
